    The quintessential example is the sabotaging of the USPS.

    I'm sorry but this makes no sense. Trump is robbing the treasury by sabotaging the USPS?

    Did you bother to read the article?

    The article said that most of what he said was true. He misled on the number of small businesses that have closed, but otherwise his statements were factually correct.

    Question for you: do you think Trump and Biden should be held to the same standard?

    He misled on the death tolls by not addressing per capita rates.

    And he lied about "fine people".

    In both cases he told the truth. The truth could be interpreted as misleading because he left some additional facts out, but what he said was, in both cases, factually correct.

    Now: do you think Trump and Biden should be held to the same standard? Do you hold them both to the same standard?

    The left just doesn't want to get pounded.

    Poor ole Joe's cooked like the Christmas Turkey.

    Sorry, but I have seen early stages of dementia taking care of my Dad, I think Joe is already there. If the people don't see a display of being in his right mind like an on stage debate with Trump, he's done.

    Biden did not cover per capita deaths. The US is a HUGE nation with a large population.

    All correct. But that doesn’t make Biden’s statement false. It isn’t.

    Trump also doesn’t look at per capita deaths. In his interview with Axios he only wanted to look at deaths as a percentage of positive tests and said you can’t look at deaths per capita.

    Third time I’m asking the question: do you think Trump and Biden should be held to the same standard? Do you hold them both to the same standard?

    Trump does much worse on a daily basis. He actually lies. Says things that are factually incorrect. Even after it has been pointed out to him that it’s factually incorrect.

    Sounds like a truth over facts issue.



    Can you link to the 3 times you asked me about it?

    Really? You want me to link to the three times I asked you whether you think Trump and Biden should be held to the same standard?
    Posts 35, 37 and 40 in this thread.

    Now will you answer at the fourth time of asking? : do you think Trump and Biden should be held to the same standard?

    Oh! Come on! The per capita rates are hardly worth thinking about because small countries will skew the data

    Is it not true that the US has the most cases in the world? So, Biden used the total number of cases instead of per capita. Trump does those kind of things all the time, using numbers that are favorable to him. Have you ever called out Trump for doing this?

    :roflol:

    From YOUR link;

    Biden PASSED that Fact Check.

    Biden PASSED that Fact Check.

    Biden PASSED that Fact Check.

    So Biden was correct on THREE out of THREE fact checks.

    All that the OP has is the NITPICKING about IRRELEVANCIES.

    Sad!

    Remind again what is inaccurate about this statement?

    President Trump said there were "very fine people on both sides", when asked about a far-right rally in 2017.

    Because no one gives a **** about per capita deaths. It’s an excuse for extremely poor planning and action. 175K deaths are175K deaths no matter how big the country is. We are already seeing colleges shut their doors because they couldn’t even make it one week.

    Proving you know nothing about statistics and how to measure the severity of an epidemic. And Biden offered nothing new nothing that isn't being done already.

    is it a shock his speech was laced with misinformation and lies? the entire week was. The only person that was a little honest was AOC....she at least admitted the DNC goal is to turn us into a Cuba/Venezuela utopia
